Two Progressive Presidents in US History have received the Nobel
Peace Prize. The First was Theodore Roosevelt for helping negotiate
an end to The Russo-Japanese War in1905. He was given the Prize in
1906 and did not pick it up until 1910, feeling it was improper to do
so while he was in office. TR was a notorious egotist ("He wants to
be the bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral, and the
baby at every christening." According to his wild child daughter
Alice and seconded by his son Kermit ) and by the standards of
Libertarians and Anarchists quite the tyrant. He would probably have
laughed at the description, called it bully, agreed and given us a
"so whatcha gonna do about it?" attitude.

However, before he got the Nobel Prize he actually helped bring
Peace. Roughly a hundred years later (and it's been a rough hundred
years) another self described Progressive was given the Nobel Peace
Prize.You can look up why people say it was given to him, but
basically it was really given to him as a fuck you to George W. Bush.
He has not brought peace, indeed he has brought war and/or stuck
America in other people's wars that were none of our business and
appears to be trying to get us into more wars. He is an egotist and
by Libertarian and Anarchist standards a tyrant. Call him that to his
face and he won't laugh, he'll probably call you a racist bully and
you will find yourself indefinitely detained.

The breed Tyrannus americanus progressivus has become
intellectually stunted and inbred and lost its sense of humor over
the last Century. The Nobel Prize Committee should wait until someone
actually brings peace before giving them a Peace Prize. Things have
gone downhill.
